R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The tragedy of young lives cut short by disease is a 
sobering reminder of both the fragility and the preciousness of our 
time on earth, and it is with great sorrow and deep humility that we 
honor the memory of Krystal Leigh DelBart and her brother, Gage 
Leighton DelBart, both of Alpine; and
	WHEREAS, Homebound by illness, the children grew up under the 
devoted care of their father, Joseph DelBart, and our sadness is 
softened by the knowledge that they were well-loved and nurtured 
throughout their lives; and
	WHEREAS, While enduring tribulations that would challenge 
many adults, Krystal and Gage exemplified grace and bravery in 
their attitude toward their circumstances, and the brevity of their 
lives only draws into brighter relief their moving courage; and
	WHEREAS, Krystal passed away on March 11, 2005, at the age of 
10, and Gage died on June 5, 2003, at the age of 7; both children 
were members of Hillside Baptist Church; and
	WHEREAS, Though time may soften the blow of their passing, it 
will never erase the memory of these two unique and irreplaceable 
young people, and their spirits will continue to shine brightly in 
the hearts and minds of all those fortunate enough to have known 
them; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor the memory of Krystal Leigh DelBart and 
Gage Leighton DelBart and extend sincere sympathy to their family 
members and friends; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the members of their family and that when the Texas 
House of Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of 
Krystal and Gage DelBart.

                                                                         Gallego

	I certify that H.R. No. 1591 was unanimously adopted by a 
rising vote of the House on May 20, 2005.
